…clean, green and game-free

Twenty miles southeast of Vegas and just a few miles from Lake Mead you'll find Boulder City. This oasis, with its great restaurants and shops, outdoor recreation, natural wildlife, and quiet, laid-back living, also happens to be Nevada’s only town with no gaming.

Founded to house the workers who built the Hoover Dam, the city was developed during the Great Depression as a "model city" for the hopeful, successful future of all Americans. And current residents have found exactly that.

Boulder City isn’t all quiet and calm, though. Extreme sports have exploded here, with Bootleg Canyon earning a reputation as a renowned destination for hard-core mountain biking, and the rising sport of zip-line soaring. See if the Bighorn sheep don’t lift their heads for a glimpse of that!

Yet still, with a family-friendly atmosphere, low crime rate, year-round events and high-quality services, it’s easy to see why more than 15,000 people call Boulder City home.
